4 Curious Cat Story.

A curious electrical phenomenon is
reported from Fayette Township, Mich.
Recently lively thunder storm passed
over that region, during which the play
OF lightning was peculiarly frequent and
vivid. just before the storm broke,
Amos j. Biggs, a farmer living midway
between HillSdale and JOnesville, who
is quite bald, his head being smooth and
shiny, went into his back yard to
brighten away some cats that were fight
ing on the wOodpile. So intent were
allow Farmer BiggS to approach within
few feet of them. At the same instant
there was great crash, and an electric
bolt struck the wO0dpile, scattering it
and stiffening the cats in an intense
rigOr mOrtiS.
Aside from a prickly sensation and
sudden contraction of the muscles, Mr..
BlggS experienced no unpleasant effects
further than that the fluid passed down
his body, tore the works of his watch all
to pieces, breaking the cover, ripped his
left trousers leg from top to bottom and
burst his left boot, tearing the upper
the house his wife tainted. Uncon-
sciOus of the cause the farmer fastened
to bring her to, and the few words she
uttered, ooh, Amos, and the DEVILS set
his mark on you," excited his curiosity
and he looked in the glass and found
the image of black cat photographed
in silhouette on his bald front. Mrs.
Biggs being restored, they examined
the picture closely, which they saw was
perfect. 1t was about five inches from
tip to tip, and in perfect proportion.
The cats "whiskers." teeth and even
the hairs on its tail were reproduced
with exquisite minuteness. Curiosity
being satisfied they tried to remove the
obnoxious marking, using some homely
remedies, as soapsuds and securing
brick, vinegar, ashes, ETC., but to no
purpose. However, in the morning the
picture was much faded, and by noon it
had quite disappeared.

RURAL Joys.

Last winter we were "mad as hops"
When Cousin Joe came into town,
And talked about his stock and crops
And played the tiresome country Clown
We felt ashamed OF him-his dress
His speech, his hands, his awkward feet:
we groaned to hear him, wal, i guess -
And shuddered when we saw him eat.
But now it's different. you know;
We close the house, leave town in STYLE.
And go to see dear Cousin joe"
And live upon the farm while.
Those "caows" now furnish us with cream.
With which new Eaters go quite we'll:
We also have Joe's double team
And drive about tremendous swell.
We don't so much mind sitting down
And eating with our COUSIN here;
And somehow he's not such clown
AS formerly-it's very queer!
His country ways no more annoy
Nor do we think him disgrace;
His company we quite enjoy
In fact. the farm S a splendid placel
Our city neighbors think we go
To Newport (Which we can't afford;
Meanwhile we visit Cousin Joe,
And never think to pay our board.
And when the season ends and we
Have had to foot no hotel bill,
Joe's come again. We hear with glee.
And say: "Oh, thank you, Joe; we will"

A WELL-KNOWN SOCIETY LADY
never wears decollete dress for the
reason that hideouS scar disfigureS her
entire bust, and it was got in this
fashion: Years ago she was a country
girl of an excellent but reduced family.
AS the eldest daughter. much of the
domestic work fell to her share.
Especially did she excel in ironing,
and all fathers shirts were done up
by the fair Elizabeth. Then
came out, about the time
when she was her mothers sole assist
ant, new fiat-iron-a boX-like machine
with trap-door behind, through which
was thrust red-hot heater. The adj
vantage of this invention time has re-
fused to record. Maybe it stayed hot
longer than one cooked on top of the
range in the ordinary way. At all
events, awful accidents ended the popu-
1arity of this invention. By one of
. them this woman is SCARED for life. She
caught qp,ene of the irons and held
it near her face to judge of
its condition, when the trap-door
opened and out came the red hot lump

neck dress because there is a terrible

THE LATE LUCILLE WESTERN

chain, or a locket, for the purpose of
hiding dark blue mark made by her
constantly shaving point of dark hair
that came up above the dress line. This
hair was like that of a sable muff. en-

perfect Gothic point on the breast-bone.
Poor Lucy shaved it when she couldn't
hide it, and it was terrible bother.
RiStori has on her shoulder bunch of
berries like barberrieS. When the sea-

bushes the mark on Ristori's shoulder
turns from a dull drown to deepest
crimson; and as the barberries 60 off

Mad. ModleSka wears something against
the left side Of her neck with square
cut neck to hide scar that looks as if
made by a dagger's point.
There is beautiful and much admired

Wrapt in dreams Of love and Joy
Meath the silver moon,
So, beside her form slept,
And my vigil near her kept.

And the youth adored,

THE HAMMOCK COMPANY.
Its Fine Mill at Era-The Outlook of
the Horn Silver.

Through the courtesy of Chas. c..
Thum, of the firm of J. H. Greene &
Co., reporter of the TIMES, while in
Era Saturday night, was escorted to
the headquarters of the Bannock
Company, and, under the direction of
Assistant Superintendent James, given
an opportunity to visit every part of
the great mill recently erected there.
Without doubt the remark of the
builder, ]. K. Owens, is true, that
"There may be as good mills else.
where but there is none better" The
motor is 200 horsepower condens-
ing engine, and the ponderous ma
chinery runs so smoothly as not to
give the slightest jar. The mill now
has 20 stamps, with capacity for 40;
is FIVE stories high; is equipped with
crushers, dryers, roasters, and coolers;
is prepared to reduce all kinds of
ores; has warehouses of ample capac.
ity for the product of the company's
mines; is lighted throughout with
electricity; and in every way is a
model Of neatness, economy and rap.
idity.
Assistant Superintendent James
said the company's outlay was $780,.
600 before a cent returned. But now
the mill brushes an average of over
20 tons day, running from rs to
so ounces of silver, with few dollars
in gold. Its product is therefore in
the Eeighborhood of $1,000 day.
The mine and mill give employment
directly to hundred men, and indi.
rectly to as many more. The prop
erty is therefore the main support of
the town of Era.
Mr.. James, when asked as to the
future of the Bannock, or Horn Sill.
yer, said the outlook was encourag.
ing. The mine has never had de-
fined ledge, and has depended on
loose ore; but now that a depth of
almost $50 feet has been reached, the
broken ground is passed and they are
in solid formation. This encourages
them to believe that the vein will soon
be struck, and that it will be in keeping
with the great amount of loose ore in
the top levels of the niue.
